What else can I help you with?
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
Why is Sun in the middle of every planet?
The sun is a thousand times more massive than all the planets combined. The planets all orbit the sun for this reason--due strictly because of its great mass.
What dramatically affects the surface of all planets and moons?
the sun
How are planets and sun are alike?
They tend to be round, spherical objects which are visible in space. They have great mass and their own gravity.
How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
Does the sun give planets gravity?
No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.
Why do planets have less gravity then the Sun?
Planets have less mass than the sun, hence, they have weaker gravitational fields.
What planets are orbiting close to the sun due to their large mass?
The closeness to the Sun is not directly related to the mass.
How much bigger is the sun than the other planets?
The sun is a star, not a planet. The sun has about 700 times the mass of all the planets combined.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
Is the sun a land mass?
no the sun isn't a land mass it is a ball of gas which all the planets orbit around
Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?
No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.
